If I wanted to play 1080 videos with this, would there be lag or issues? I read in the description that "playing motion video" is not recommended.

Will depend on your computer, but I can tell you that on my MacBook Pro with 10.9 (Mavericks) the drivers don't work well with the new OS. Even mouse movement stutters, video is out. Your milage will vary.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Chris! The performance of videos on any display connected through USB would not match that of a display directly connected to the primary GPU on the system. As USB Graphics adapters are virtual devices that use the CPU and GPU of your system to render the display, your system specs would determine how much lag you would see while playing video intensive applications on a display connected via http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007L6NYAO Hope the above information helps!

I have been using it to play old 8-bit nintendo games. I don't notice any lag at all (I have a 1 ms monitor). it seems to be a fast solution... just wish it were 4:3 aspect meh

Probably not good for playing 3D and definitely not for up scaling. It only has a USB 2 port - and I'm pretty sure you need HDMI for the features your looking for.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

It doesn't really allow for a full screen image. The image it draws from the source is contained within a smaller box that is surrounded by "options" you can use for editing your video. That is if you are using the supplied software. There is a noticeable lag time that I think would ruin any gaming play.

No, I don't experience any lag of the sound to the video. I use it to record virtual organs with Hauptwerk.Works just fine! :-)

Slight. Yes, Im that guy using a ps2 with monster component cables. There is a microscopic lag, but not enough to worry about. Even fast fighing games, Doa ran great, as did other twitch games. Games look better if they are 480p, but 480i (most ps2 games) is acceptable. Im playing Final Fantasy 12 on this tv(480i) and it looks great.

I did play a game through the 360 game system and did not see any lag or skipping of the video. Everything appeared to be normal. (I guess the fps that your talking about is the frames per second.)

Hmmm. I've used it quite a bit on mkv's connected to an hdtv and it was fine, no stutter or lag. I downloaded a sample .rmvb file, 10 seconds long, and it played fine with vlc, but neither esfile explorer's viewer or the built in video application would recognize it. I am not familiar at all with rmvb files, so i do not know if there is more than one type or different quality, but the one i had was about 1.1meg for a 10 second clip at 320x480. hope that helps.

Shouldn't have a problem. I am running this card in a system with a Pentium D dual core. So I would think you should get way better results than me. I run mine as a media server to my TV. Works great, streams over the HDMI beautifully. I really like the card for what I use it for. The only issue is that you will need space large enough for it, no mini cases or anything like that, and it needs good air movement. In my HP system that required me to drill holes in the side so it could draw fresh air. Then again mine is ancient, so you probably have a more modern case with more than 1 fan. If you want this card for extreme gaming... Well you would probably have something more than an i5 system. It will probably do decent for light gaming, I just wouldn't expect too much out of it. Hope that helps.

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.

If you have 120Hz, you shouldn't have a problem. Were you not able to watch in 1080p ? I don't know anything about changing refresh rates.

I currently have 4 Samsung U28d590 4k monitors run in UHD through this card. When I ran a single monitor on a GeForce GTX650Ti, I never had a hard time playing HD video. Now that I switched my card and added these monitors, I sometimes have a problem playing the same videos. Definitely can't play any games more demanding than minecraft. Can it drive all four? Yes, but not in the passing lane. I'm a programmer, so I enjoy all the space to run my development tools. If you are a video connoisseur or gamer, this is not the right card for you.

I tried it on 1080P video and it did not work. So it won't work on 4K video. So I bought the Accell Ultrarun Pro high speed with ethernet hdmi cable. This one really works. But its more expensive then the other one.

Yes, it takes up two spots. You'll be good up to 1080p. No way are you running anything in UHD with this card.

There's a built in graphics card. It's a good card, not a very good card. If you want to run high graphic games, you will probably want to add a better card. If you're doing normal computing with no high graphic demands, then this should suffice. I have no problem watching hd videos on Netflix.
